Find the value of n.

n = [?] degress
48 degress and (8n) degress

1 answer

To find the value of \( n \) in degrees, we need to clarify the relationship between \( n \) and the angles given. The problem states:

  • \( n \) degrees
  • \( 48 \) degrees
  • \( 8n \) degrees

It's likely that these angles are part of some equation or relationship. A common setup is that these angles could be angles in a triangle, or they could be supplementary or complementary angles.

Assuming these angles sum up to 180 degrees (for example, in a triangle), we can set up the equation:

\[ n + 48 + 8n = 180 \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ 9n + 48 = 180 \]

Next, isolate \( n \) by subtracting 48 from both sides:

\[ 9n = 180 - 48 \] \[ 9n = 132 \]

Now, divide both sides by 9:

\[ n = \frac{132}{9} = 14.67 \text{ degrees (approximately)} \]

Thus,

\[ n \approx 14.67 \text{ degrees} \]

If there is a different context provided (like if these angles are supplementary), please share that, and we can adjust the solution accordingly!
